    The usual course of antibiotics is 10 days.
    Surely you can abstain from sex that long.
    Then you should be safe... but I would add a few days.
    When you have sex, you often irritate delicate tissue enough to break the skin a tiny bit, and bacteria move in. Sure, you might have picked up bacteria in the lake with some open skin. Even a bug bite can let it in, or a scratch.
    I learned this the hard way - a big bug bite left a big hole behind my knee, and infection spread a bright red rash from there to the top of my leg to my foot, and I ended up in the ER. If I had just washed it with soap and water, I could have avoided the infection most likely.
